Cordon.
This superb outdoor cordon variety is perfect for growing in unpredictable British summers. The trusses of Tomato 'Orkado' are early to ripen, bearing an average of 8 round, deep red fruits per truss. The firm, well-flavoured, medium sized fruits, each weighing up to 140g (5oz), resist splitting and are ideal for slicing. Height: 200cm (79"). Spread: 50cm (20").
Companion planting: Try growing tomatoes with French marigolds to deter whitefly, and basil, chives or mint to deter aphids and other pests.
